BRITISH A Letter to SAMUELWIIITBREAD, Esq. M. P. up.m tt•e Military Conduct of Lord WELLINGTON, i h some Remarks upon the Marquis WE'LLlts txy's Govv..riffnent in India, and the fatal effects of Patty Spirit. By Britaunicos. We resume our Extraas from this spirited Pam t, in answer to the malignant asperity and sap; 'castic insolence of the Edinburgh. Reviewers. "" But I proceed ,with these gentlemen's Criti cismi.- - ." :They affirm that the army which came down up on Lord Wellington, ' was the very same, which he hid somewhat Whimsically boasted of having' dein dyed some weeks before.' • "I have olri•adv sheWn thetinpardonable misrepre s:mtation contained in one of their assertions ; and it is ()lly necessary to observe 'that their last affir mation. (viz. that it was the very same army) :was tompletely and decidedly contradiacd, by one of the responsible servants of the Crown, in the' par liamentary debates upon this su.bje&. His words are these : I have to state, however; that the army which appeared at Placentia, was not that which had been defeated by Lord Wellington.— ,Soult's force consisted of two divisions"; Soult vas a senior commander, and was notninally the head of that force commanded . by Ney and Mortier.'* "The public must decide between the two autho rities ! • - "Bit indeed', Sir, I could readily have pardoned any misstatement which might have arisen from Mar shal Soules being the nominal head of Ney's and Mortier'sdivision; had it'not been accompanied by the assertion that Lord Wellington had boasted of having destroyed completely' "the army corn manded.by Marshal Soult and, stated in the most. Ungitalitied.manner, without even hintinget the con 7 tinned reinforcements from Bayonne and-elaewheFe, that this 41,.ras the ' very same' army.i--,and I should not have even condescended to notice had it not been accompanied by a sort of malignant sarcasm and triumphant satistaplion, . on the Tart of the Re viewer's, in - being thuS enabled to wound Lord Wel ington in the tenderest part. Lastly, the Reviewers state, ' that our-rulers, reflecting upon the vote of last session; voted, the highest honours on, this great Commander, and, by a refinement of mockery, elevated him to a distinguish ed place among those 'Peers who had passed the vote of last session.' " Really, Sir, it is impossible not, to admire the modesty at least - of these gentlemen, who thus eldre to insult with one breath the King, Lords, and Com mons of the realm ; and to Style a Solanin act of Nitinnal 'areitirde for the most herOicr deeds; as `a refinement of mockery !' Is it thus that the . Edinburgh Reviewers flat tered themselves, that by a few short sentences, and, those disgraced, as :I have demonstrated them to bd, by the grosst mis-statements, they should blast the honoured name and professional charaCter of Lord Wellington ?--If this be, a specimen . of their candour,' their equity, their talents, their amiable dispositions, and upright minds; I t.hink it needs not the spirit of prophecy to foretell that such criti-. cisms will never fad to produc4, as they will richly deserve; the abhorrence of every man who possesSes the common feelings of humanity and of justice : exclusive of all those more exalted motives which ought to actuate men of cultivated minds and ge nuine patriotism. " Had -their remarks contained only a fair and li. beral critique upon the pperations of our Commander,' no one could have had a right to cornplain,however they might have differed as to the wisdom of his measures : but combined as they are with the injurious tnisrepreseittationi,.sarcastie ridicule, and insolent attitek upon the legislature of the country, their conduB is without apology ; and' I will l eave them not only to ihe,well-merited indignation of my fellow-countrymen, but to that Jurist severe of ill .punishments, the.shaine and remorse which must plant in their. ovin_ hearts. the weapon with which they attempted to dqroy the military reputation of Lord Wellington ! • "I shall only add, that what the people of Eng land most love and admire in their Admirals or Ge . .nerals is, that ardent spirit of enterprise and enthu istie valuer, which has charicierized their beloved Nelson, and endless. scroll of Naval heroes, .and ob tained for them the sovereignty of the ocean ; and which has iMmortalized their Henries and Ed wards, their Marlborough,Wolfe, and Abercombie, by land. It is thiS spirit which,,when direeted by a" 'scientific education, long experience, - great ablit les, and confirmed by uniform success, all of which have been found united in ,Lord Tellin gton, must ever be the sure 'bail to •Vietory and to.glory - : and it appears. to me,.Sit, to be an a& of unparalleled lolly. in. atiy man or body of men, to disgust such a Coretnander; 'and of unparalleled ingratitude to make such a return for his splendid acid Multiplied services !" • The - author having effeetually vindicated the con dm% or rather having illustrated the high merits and important . achievements of Lord Wellington, pro 7 cfeels to a defence of his Noble Brother, who has bcen (-Oath , the obj'eta of envenomed patty Spleen, an(l vc - 116 indeed has raised A hoist of enemies.by 'the' f,>; c e and extent - of his takits, and the distinguished scrt ices which he has rendered to his country by im .. provineand' secur ing her Eastern possessions, as well - a, by other erninent'proofs orpublic V!itae. "I must now beg leave to off,v-r some remarks up on an.illu-sirions individual, not the immediate ob- - jeo of this address to yeu,,Sir,;.but whom it would .1) in the highest degrecunjust to pass over to silence .

Parliament assembled; the humble Petition of Henry Foskeit, Cap tain in the Isth Regiment of Light DragoJas. SHENVETFI, That your Petitioner has been an Officer in the 15th Light Dragoons about 13 years, and senior-Cap tain in that regiment above four years: That during the last Mentioned space of time, he has, in various ways, been made to suffer, from his Colonel, his Royal HighneSs the Duke of Cumbeiland, the most injurious treatment, amounting to no less than a, course of systematic oppress on. That in the year 1806, in a manner contrary to the acknowledged custom and constitution of the army, his Royal Highness endeavoured to promote an Officer of the.lsth Light Dragoons, and junior to your petitioner,' in preference to him, to a Majority in the regiment, which purpoe he was pre►ented from effecting, stylely: by the interposition ,of_ his Royal Highness the Duke of York, at that time Comm nd in' Chief. That yq ir petitioner having, on the above occa sion, solicited a week's absence, in order the mere certainly to obtain such interposition, by, means of a personal appeal, in support' of -a Memorial transmit ted to the Commander in Chief, he was, for five suC . - cessive months" most vexatiously refused that indul-. gence, although he was at that very time •entit.Ld, under general orders, c to leave of absence foetwofor three months, and although junior officers were then actually allowed that-permission. Tnat,,your peti liononer;:notwithstanding his final. success in thus . preventing a junior officer from being raised above him, has, from , that -tip - le i , been .unjustly depriv ed of promotion,. itt the -usual. course -01, his regi . - ment, to . the injury, not, only of your petitioner, but of all the Captains and • Subbernsof-the corps, whose proniotion has thereby been, and minis, 'en tirely stopped. , • - ..ThA in he year-1808, , when the I.sth. Light Dra:- goonS was ordered • upOn forvign ervice, in Spain, -yew pet tioner, though senior. Captain, was directed, by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumbeiland, to 'remain at home with the . recruiting squadron.-- - That upon complaining to the commanding • Offi cer of the regiment, -of a management so inconsis tent with the established custom of the, army, and fraught,with such extreme hardship to your peti iiOner,' he (the Commanding Officer), disclaim ing all, participation :in the transaaion, referred your petitioner's complaint officially to his Highness, the Duke of CuMberlatici, by whom. it Was dismissed,. and who declared .the arrangement to be unalterable. That your petitioner thereupon thought himself bound to solicit the interference of the Commander : in. Ctiief, when the Duke of Cumberland, planation of his own conduct,, permitted himself to cast on your petitioner's character the most, in jurious aspersions, which, notwithstanding th►e au thority from whence they came, were soon proved : to be utterly unfounded; as the Commander in chief, • though at first induced by them to sanction the ar-, rangement of which they were the assigned cause,. yet upon further remonstrance on the part of your:: petitioner, .and on -- further consideration of the case,. his Royal Highness was graciously' pleased to revoke his consent to the arrangement in question, and to direct that a Captain should be sent home: frog the regiment in Spain, upon whose arrival the petitioner was to be at liberty to join ; a permission, however,. of which, gracious. and acceptable as it was, your petitlober was , not able to take advantage, as the re-.. giment soon afterwards returned home, and- thus your petitioner was oppressively made to sustain the irreparable loss of an opportunity so anxiously -desired by every British Officer, of serving his Sovereign and his Country against - -their fore:gti enemies. ,„ . .That your petitioner having suffered, during so long-a time, such heavy and complicated injuries; finding himself shut out flora - all hopes pf advanee-' mentin his profession, by the avowed determination' of his Commanding Officer (expressed in terms the most injurious): not to recommend him for promo-. , tion, and at thesame time rendered an -insurmount able obstacle to the advancement of every officer, junior to himself, in the regiMent ; having in vain, repeatedly called for the "strictest' investigation of his Conduel, and declared his readiness, and and even his anxiety, to meet any charge that could be brotight against him ; and perceiving that fresh com plaints of ill treatment only served to subject him to. fresh aspersions, your petitioner saw that he had no chance for redress, but from the justice of the-Com mander in Chief.' That he therefore in the month of July, 1809, 'laid his case before his Excellency, imploring his interference and 'protection.' fiat this communication was accompanied with testi monials to' the undeviating conduct of your peti tioner, from almost every Commanding Officer of the' regiment, under whOm your petitioner had Served ; and wfio must have had far better op portunities of observing his general deportment. than his Royal Highness • the Duke of Cumber land. That while your petitioner'S complaints were hrfore the Commander in Chief, his just claims to prOmotion were , again defeated, by the in trodualion of officers from other regiments, to fill up the two Majorittes of the . i sth Light Dra goons, -which were -then vacant. That seeing him self thus excluded from all prospe& of relief, in the oidinary course, your petitioner was reduced to the necessity of soliciting trona the -.Commander in-Chief, an• application in his favour of the f2th section of the- Articles of War, which states -that— if any officer shall think Ilimself to be wronged by his . Colonel, or the Commanding-Officer.of, the regiment, and shall; upon due application made to Min, be refused to n be redressed, he may complain to the General: commanding in cchief our forces, in order-to obtain justice, who is hereby required to examine into such .complaint, and either by hint- Self, or by our Secretary at. War, to make his re port to us thereupon, in order 'to roceive our farther dired ions." , That your petitioner accordingly, on•thetWtli of September, 1809, addressed a le, ter to Colonel Gor don, Military Secretary, for the consideration of the Commander-in-Chief ; in which, after briefly reca pitulating the injuries of which he had ineffedually coMplained, he expressly • requested .the Coni manderrin-Chief, in conformity with the 124 i) sec (ion of the Aclies of I,V3r, to eiamine into th e complaint he had laid before him, and funles-5 he was graciously - pleased to afford him reds es') to T . make his report to his IVlajeity thei•eupoti. That this request being attended with no other eife" than an offer of promotion in' a . feginient of try; whiCh your petitioner could not accept, cons' s " tently, either with hipwn just claim's, his wounde d , ' feelings, and his aspersed Chara6ter, or, iti ? the tion•in :which he , was with• what was du e from [lin - I.W-the army, he has since, in t*o sitbse , quent letter:s, expliCitly.repeated- his request, that the Commander-in-Chief would investigate his COal' plaints, and report- to his Majesty thereupon ; t ° , whit') reqUest he at length received an officia l answer from. the Military Sectetary, dated- Fe"!, bruary 12, .18-1 0, -and couched in - the -following' terms : - . : Slit-r have_ pot-failed to lay before the Coro - , inander-in-Chief your letter of the 13th 'ing ot l and I. am direbted to acquaint you, that Sir D3 o ' Dundas does not, see sutliaient grounds tor coax!?!)" ing with your request. . . • , - •.

I am confident that you would recoil with horror at the very thought of making the whole of our vast In dian Empire a second St. Donaingo, • and . causing: sixty millions of -our subje6ts to wade through oceans of human blood; and I am• equally certain,- that if the freedom of the press, as allowed in this - country, and which I consider as our common bless ing- and safeguard; were permitted in India, not only would it destroy all that high veneration. for their superiors, and especially for their Governors; which is the grand chara6teristic of the Hindnos ; but our dominion there Would, by the intrigues and artifice of a.few unprincipled and disconteaect men, be shaken to its very foundation ; by the spirlr4iff sofent and libellous, abuse of every thing and every person, that ought to command the respeet of the the natives of that great Empire. This lean tell you, Sir, without fear of contradidion ; that mischief enough has been 31. - eady done in India, both by our .patriots-and reformers at home, and then-disciples .in that-country; and I think we have had a pretty praai calSpecimen of the fatal consequences Of lessening - A he reverence due to superiors, in the late deplorable re bellion in the Madras army: and thiS, tae it remem bered, among men who had the benefit of an . Eng lish education, and manners, and customs, and laws, and liberties. If men thus enlightened, suffer their passions and feelings to ride triurnpnant over their reason, and every sacred principle of duty to God or man, what may we.not expect from the fury, of those passions in the natives, which could_ not pos sibly f3il to be excited by the-unbridled licentious ness of the -press, or even the free discussion of, the •conclu6l of their superiors, and ; the Aneactifesbi Go vernment, as practised in` Great Britain ?" AGRICULTURAL RBPORTS FOR MARCH. MID-LOTFIJAN REPORT. During the whole of .this month, there has been continued frost with snow showers more or less, that have kept the ground in a very wet state.— The young wheats, which looked fresh during the winter months, have got a severe check, especially after beans; and upon daMp Or spouty soils. There is little . sprino - corn sown, and that not in the best condition; '47y.fresh weather is much desired, as, from the lateness of the season, the farmer has much labour 'to . pertorM before the spring work will be completed.' ' . There has been little alteration observable in the grain markets, except a small advance in the price of oats; the _price of wheat is governed by the imports of foreign; the baker being only able to take about one-third or one-half of our home produce to make good bread. The butcher markets 'have been` fully supplied • about_ former prices; at this" season, the turnips be ing done, the cattle must come to market, but, there is Nile expectation of much decline in that artiele.— April a. _ _ - FORFARSHIRE REPORT. Frosts have prevailed to such a degree this month, that - the ground has seldom - been in a statefor har rowing, and little is consequently done to seed work. A few pease, beans, and oats have been sown, but those make a,small proportion of what is to accom plish. Should the weather set in mild and dry, the land has - seldom been in a more favourable state for receiving the seed. Prices of grain have been nearly stationary, and the sale not brisk. A considetable . qtiantity of inferior _barley, and wheat is still on hand, there being little demand - for these articles. Less barley than usual will be sown this season, on account of the bad market for it, and the in feriority of its produce per acre to oats; 'it is only on light early soils that barley can be piofitably raised, and of them a small Frroportion of the county consists. Wheat brings from- 355. to 455.; barley 20. to 285.; oats 205.._t0_255. per boll. . Beef and mutton sell for Bd. per lb. end, it is • feared, the feeding .stock on band will afford a 'scanty supply, until the grass-fed cattle come into the market. • Horses have been much in demand this' spring and high priced.-,March 3 1 .
